I have quilt frames. The 100 year old sticks are for a double bed at the largest, so my son made me two 9 foot sticks with the baseboards that came out of the house in which I live. This was really good wood. Then last year I made two 48 inch sticks for baby quilts and wall hangings. I have stapled a strip of denim on all of these, and they go together with bolts. When the quilt is pinned onto these, there are no wrinkles! Our neighbor, George, threatened to use our stretched quilts for a trampoline. In my kitchen I set it up over the counter with chairs holding the other two corners. In my living room I use the dining table under the frame and chairs under corners that are not supported by the table. When our homemakers club ties quilts for charity, we go to the town hall and use the long tables there.
